Which Bank for Seychelles company?

[bestia]

Hello, I need advice and hope someone can give me one 🙂


I need to open bank account for Seychelles company and looking where to open it. Which bank you recommend, somewhere offshore, Caribbean maybe or European bank, Latvia or Cyprus or Barclays bank in Seychelles? I'm not looking to hide, but for stable bank with debit cards, internet banking and low fees.

We are in the same boat mate🙂 Looking for answers as well but see the‌ St. Vincent bank and Bank of Mauritius are good alternatives so far but looking for‍ more input please 😉

 

[bestia]

cheers biskoff, you mean some specific bank over there in Mauritius or any is good‌ for this?

If you for some reason don't want to open the account with a Cyprus bank‌ then you may be able to find alternative banks here: <removed>

STANDARD BANK (MAURITIUS) LIMITED German state buys data on secret Swiss bank accounts of thousands‌ of alleged tax cheats - The Washington Post great alternative to Cyprus bank.

HSBC in HK and Piraeus or Bank of Cyprus in Cyprus 😉 great banks. Still looking‌ for other offshore banking options.

 

[JohnLocke]

We have that list availble as well which lists alot of other offshore banks.

 

[biskoffshore]

Best guess is Piraeus Bank or Bank of Cyprus if it is a European bank‌ you are looking for. Others, St. Vincent bank and Bank of Mauritius may work very‍ well for you too.

 

[JohnLocke]

Indeed, the St. Vincent banks works very well, they upgradede their banking platform and they‌ are offering a debit card as well.

Bank of Mauritius and various other Cyprus banks work pretty good. IF you are able‌ to open an account in Switzerland and Latvia, you should consider this too.

Depends on what you require from the bank and what⁣ business you are into.. most work with Cyprus banking and others use Mauritius or Latvia⁢ banks..typically for gaming and adult business.

 

[JohnLocke]

second that, you may elaborate about what business you are into⁠ and other requirements.

 

[biskoffshore]

What offshore bank did you go with bestia?

 

[bestia]

hi, I still didn't open bank account, actually for what I do now, for all‌ sales, PayPal and Paxum business account are quite enough for me now. Maybe will open‍ account here in Europe, Slovenia or Czech republic if they allow me or Cyprus maybe⁠ on the end. Some banks taking 20-30 euros for monthly fee, that's little bit too⁤ much regarding traffic which I would have on bank account.

 

[JohnLocke]

If you are fine with a regular bank (not offshore) you can open an account‌ with any European bank and it will be cheaper than the offshore banks. There is‍ a reason for why they charge such fees and why they are a little more⁠ expensive than usual regular banks, most often privacy and anonymity are one of the major⁤ ones.

I guess it all depends on what you need. I agree that offshore is only‌ best for certain types of situations. Otherwise, you can save money by opting for other‍ banks.

The Seychelles IBC (International Business Company) is a flexible tax exempt company ideal for a‌ wide variety of uses such as a personal services corporation.

Are you‍ just posting nonsense or don't you read the topic?

Would it be hard to open a bank account in Seychelles? reading all this about‌ offshore banking let me look closer to Seychelles or Mauritius but still unsure how to‍ go about all of it.
